STAY-ROLLER FOR SLIDING DOORS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 297,805, dated Apri] 29, 1884.

Application filed June 14, 1883. `(No model.)

TQ all whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL IDE, of Medina, Orleans county. New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Stay- Rollers for Sliding Doors; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure l is a plan of the device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partially in section, showing the device attached in place, and the bottom of a sliding door held by the roller. Fig. 3is Fig. 4. is a horizontal section on an enlarged scale in line x x of Fig. 3.

My improvement Vrelates to stay-rollers for holding sliding doors from swinging out of place. Itis more particularly applicable to sliding barn`doo`rs. Ordinary devices of this kind consist of a roller attached to a single bolt or stem, which is generally screw-threaded, aud is screwed into the wood-work to hold it in place. Another device consists of a screw-shank with a roller on the outer end and a plate resting on asquare portion of the shank and secured by screws to the wood-work to prevent the roller from inverting.

My invention consists of a staple cast into a head of cast-iron, the rounded end of the staple projecting back outside of the casting,serv ing to receive the blows of the hammer'in driving, and a roller mounted on top of the casting, all as hereinafter described.

In the drawings, A shows the staple, which is of usual form, having a rounded head, a, and two prongs, b b, which latter are driven into thewood-work B to hold the roller in place.

C is the cast-iron head for holding the staple and also the roller D. The roller is of usual vforni,and turns on a pintle, ci, that is cast into the head. In casting the head, the staple is placed in the mold crosswise, its rear end projecting back of the matrix. The pintle is also placed vertically therein, and the iron is then poured. When the casting is completed, the rounded end of the staple will project back of and outside of the casting, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and forms the surface Vagainst which to strike in driving the staple into the wood. I am aware that it is common to cast wrought or other nished iron into cast-iron. My invention consists in casting the staple in place in such a manner that the rounded head projects back from the casting and serves to receive lthe blows in driving. It' the blows were struck on the cast-iron,it would be apt to break it.

I disclaim a stay-roller having a screwshank with a plate secured to the wood to pref vent turning of the shank; but,

Having described my invention, I claim- A stay-roller for sliding doors, consisting of
